Truck Camping for Longevity
Is truck camping the secret to a healthier, happier life? As it turns out, our time on the road may be doing far more for our physical and mental health than we realize. As if we needed another reason to load the camper and hit the road.
For Behind the Shot Part 8, we’re featuring photos and stories from Dubois, Wyoming, Canyonlands National Park, Utah, Depoe Bay, Oregon, and many more destinations! Click here to participate in the 2027 Truck Camper Magazine Calendar Contest.
From breweries and vineyards to museums and farms, we share our camping experiences at Harvest Hosts locations. Here’s our review: pros, cons, and beyond.
Scout and SITKA transform the Olympic hard side into a purpose-built basecamp for hunters, anglers, and serious backcountry pursuits. With only ten built, this Scout will be nearly as elusive as the game it’s designed to pursue.
We caught up with Kristian Arnold, @tuneoutdoor Co-Founder, to break down the differences between the Tune M1 and M1L.
The M1L’s lighter, narrower profile is designed for tighter trails, less weight, and reduced drag on the road. Starting at $8,999, it also comes in at a lower price while offering the same available options as the larger M1.
So, which would you choose? The extra interior space of the Tune M1 or the lighter, narrower profile of the M1L?

Diesel or gas? We asked 18 truck campers which they prefer, and the results were split right down the middle.
Nine chose diesel. Nine chose gas.
From torque and fuel economy to payload, maintenance costs, and simplicity, everyone had a reason for their choice.
Hear what they had to say, then help us break the tie.
Which do you prefer, diesel or gas? Let us know in the comments!

Here’s the oddly satisfying sound of installing @torklift_international TRUE Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs on our 2026 Ford F-350 long bed.
The Torklift tie-down hardware bolts directly to existing mounting points on the truck’s frame without drilling. With basic hand tools, Torklift’s installation videos, and an extra set of hands, we tackled the entire installation ourselves.
Want to read more about how it went? We break down the installation process step by step, share what we learned along the way, and report back after more than 5,000 miles of truck camping.
Read “How To Prep a Truck with Torklift” on Truck Camper Magazine for the full breakdown.
